Yefremov, Member of R.M.C. 10
Tsaritsyn
It was not at all a question of illegal organisations and by no means of leaving it.[1] I am surprised that such a strange idea could have entered your head. The question was that of total mobilisation of all Tsaritsyn workers and of using all methods of revolutionary, most energetic war with especially stern purging of the rear. Telegraph precisely what urgent measures you are adopting.
